汉语容纳句的句法-语用接口分析——以“一锅饭吃十个人”为例

A Study on Containment Sentences in Chinese——The Syntax-pragmatics Interface Perspective

容纳句作为现代汉语中的特殊语序句式之一,已然是学界的研究热点。本文先从传统认知语法和生成语法的视角简要回顾了与容纳句有关的前人研究,并提出一些尚待解决的遗留问题。然后在生成语法框架下,转换新的研究思路,从信息结构角度进一步探讨了汉语容纳句及其同义句式的语序和生成机制问题。我们分别从焦点鉴定、信息切分、信息编码、指称解读等方面分析了语言信息结构是如何影响汉语容纳句的语序,并对"一锅饭吃十个人"及其同义句式的生成路径进行了句法推导,力求找到一个新的解决方案。

Containment sentences are one of the special non-canonical sentences in Chinese, which are one of the hottest topics in recent linguistics research. Since there is not yet a uniform interpretation and analysis of this type of sentences, we will try to explain the formation mechanisms of containment sentences from the perspective of information structure, taking “Yi-guo fan chi shi-ge ren” for example. We will try to determine how information structure influences the word order of containment sentences from the following aspects: focus identification, information segmentation, information packaging, and reference indentification.
